  • Expires if not used within specific time means that, If the system is idle for more than 5 minutes it will disconnect the session.
  • Always expires after the specific time means that even if the user has connected for more than 15 minutes, then he has to re-authenticate himself to be identified.
Notes

The difference between expiration logoff and modal popup

When choosing the Modal Popup, after the timeout the user must only enter the passcode to unlock the screen.But choosing the Session Logoff action will be after the timeout, user must enter the user ID, passcode and then the Windows domain password to unlock the screen.
